2019 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta 

SYT gets an exclusive look at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta 2021, the first regatta to kick start the Mediterranean sailing season.

Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta returns to Sardinia this week

The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Marine Equipment Trade Show (Metstrade)</a> has announced that visitor registration is now open for its 2026 edition. The global leisure marine trade show is set to return to RAI Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398841/image/large-7b3a6d14c1ce5a3907a17dc1e2aa9788.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398841">The exhibition will feature more than 1,700 exhibitors across 13 halls, showcasing the latest products, technologies and services spanning propulsion systems, sustainable materials, smart connectivity and onboard electronics.This year's event introduces a redesigned floorplan, including an expanded Superyacht Zone, a relocated Marina &amp; Yard Zone and a larger Construction Materials Zone, aimed at improving navigation and creating more opportunities for business networking.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398840/image/large-85a401cecafef1b1f792d36d32c66c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398840">RAI Marine Technology Director Niels Klarenbeek commented: “The 2026 floorplan isn’t just bigger, it’s structured differently to improve visitor experience. By regrouping the Superyacht, Marina &amp; Yard and Construction Materials zones, we’re cutting the distance between visitors and the conversations that matter most to them so they can spend more time in front of new products, new exhibitors and the connections that drive business.”The 2026 content programme will also place greater emphasis on longer-format discussions, with 45-minute sessions followed by dedicated networking opportunities. Highlights include talks on nuclear propulsion for superyachts, practical implementation of environmental regulations and the impact of artificial intelligence on marine marketing.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398843/image/large-6dc1f9f52e49eb7c733aae6fb9f13505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398843">Alongside the exhibition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Metstrade</a> week will once again host industry events including The Superyacht Forum, which takes place from 16 to 17 November under the theme Accelerate the Evolution.Registration is free until 1 November 2026, after which an online fee of €90 (excluding VAT) will apply. Early registrants will also receive programme updates, discounted accommodation rates and access to limited early-bird tickets for Metstrain, the show's dedicated Eurostar carriage between London and Amsterdam.

The highly anticipated <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show 2026 - 7th">Turkish Yacht and Broker Association Charter Show</a> (TYBA) returns for its seventh edition from 7 to 11 May in Marmaris, Turkey. Here’s a preview of a curated selection of high-end gulets, motor yachts and sailing vessels making their way to the stunning Aegean town for an unforgettable showcase at this year’s show.&nbsp;Noyan Mutlugil, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show 2026 - 7th">TYBA</a> Chairman of Show Committee, highlights how this year's show is the celebration of "a 47-year-old legacy of yacht charter shows in Marmaris. The idea for the first charter show in the region was initiated in 1979 by Jim and Jill Anderson, who were living in Marmaris at the time and pioneered the idea of holding a yacht show in the area. Following this initial attempt in 1979, the first official yacht charter show gained international recognition from 1981 onwards."The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show 2026 - 7th">TYBA</a> Association has taken over this legacy and continues to develop it with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show 2026 - 7th">TYBA</a> Yacht Charter Show. Except for a two-year break due to the pandemic, this tradition has continued uninterrupted for almost fifty years. "With this deep-rooted history, the charter show tradition in Turkey is considered the second oldest ongoing organisation in the world (the first being the Antigua Charter Yacht Show)" shares Noyan.The event, held in the shadow of the historic Marmaris Castle, will showcase the most distinguished commercial charter yachts representing Turkish yachting. The fair offers an ideal platform for brokers to inspect yachts, meet crew members, and strengthen professional relationships in the international charter market. This year's show will have 49 yachts attending, more than 35 of which are over 24-metres. Below we highlight some of the largest yachts attending the show in Marmaris.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372258/image/large-99b1a81121f61333e96e22df28abe8f4.png"

Founded in 2018 as an extension of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xtenders (Company)">Xtenders</a>’ work in the superyacht sector, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> initially focused on lightweight boarding and deck equipment designed to match the quality and finish of the tenders being delivered. The business grew out of repeated demand from shipyards and designers for products such as swimming ladders and awning systems that reflected the same emphasis on design, weight efficiency and usability. Since then, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has expanded its range and developed its production capabilities, increasing its presence within the superyacht deck equipment market.Its relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xtenders (Company)">Xtenders</a> continues to shape how the business operates today. The two companies share engineering expertise and production knowledge and may collaborate on the same yacht, with tender solutions and deck equipment developed in parallel to create greater consistency in design, materials and user experience. This also allows <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> to offer shipyards, designers and owner’s representatives a more coordinated approach across different parts of a project.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394339/image/large-761eef67c3473dcab070e3c337afcb00.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394339">Expanding the product range and reshaping the business<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a>’s product range now extends well beyond its initial focus on ladders and awnings. Today, the company’s portfolio includes self-levelling stairs, fender systems, mooring whips, gangways and a broader selection of boarding solutions. While core products such as swimming ladders, awnings, whips and fender systems continue to see strong demand, interest is also growing in newer categories including dock steps and davit cranes.Mooring equipment remains one area of focus, with carbon whips supplied with individual serial numbers to provide traceability and warranty assurance. At the same time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> is continuing to develop further categories, including SOLAS-compliant pilot ladders, as it seeks to broaden its product range further.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396357/image/large-fee6e7bfab36f07ef8214522f3d34037.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396357">Supporting that broader product mix has been a wider change in the scale and structure of the business. In recent years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has undergone a management transition led by Thom van Riet, Joep Wolters and Matthijs van de Wijngaert, which has helped drive growth and product improvement. Greater standardisation and production efficiency have been introduced, while bespoke solutions continue to be developed in close collaboration with designers and shipyards. In a sector where no two projects are the same, the company is aiming to improve efficiency without moving away from the project-specific engineering that superyacht builds often require.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257673/image/large-a11765a4442b7038b34c007d2434ac98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257673">A growing footprint across the superyacht marketWith its equipment now installed on more than 200 yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has established a stronger presence across the sector.

Today's superyacht owners and captains expect more from a marina than a safe berth. As homeports become an increasingly important part of the ownership experience, the most successful destinations combine operational excellence with a lifestyle offering that enhances every day spent ashore. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> has become one of the clearest examples of that evolution. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293730/image/large-e75af879f302d6126f25c083d7f277bc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293730">Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them. Just beyond the pontoons lies one of Europe's most vibrant cities, where Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury shopping, world-renowned architecture and excellent international transport links are all within easy reach. Situated within walking distance of Barcelona's historic centre, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> has become a unique waterfront setting, established as one of the city's most exclusive venues for luxury events, private celebrations and corporate hospitality.The port’s reputation has always been strong, but has gained international recognition since becoming the preferred superyacht marina during the 37th America’s Cup. While Barcelona welcomed the international sporting event, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell&nbsp;</a>sat right at the centre of the action.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364777/image/large-7bd7145011c49149e458148660ce9317.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364777">A homeport for world’s largest superyachtsBuilt to accommodate superyachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell&nbsp;</a>offers 73 berths, alongside the port’s impressive 400-metre dock, capable of welcoming some of the world’s largest superyachts, marking the largest dock in the Mediterranean.The marina’s scale is immediately apparent, but equally as impressive is the quality of day-to-day operations. Every aspect of a yacht’s stay has been carefully considered: from sheltered berthing to floating work platforms, mooring assistance, storage facilities adjacent to berths, and electric golf car transport and delivery service that simplify the logistics across the marina. These considerations allow for routine maintenance and operational tasks to be completed with minimal disruption.Fuel operations have become another defining factor of the marina: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> can provide premium fuel as well as HVO eco-fuel. At-berth refuelling enables yachts to refuel without relocation, offering smooth operations and time efficiency to vessels.&nbsp;Another standout feature of the port is the high security standards. Fully compliant with ISPS regulations, ensuring maximum safety, confidentiality and peace of mind for both vessels and guests. The marina operates controlled access throughout the site, with clearly defined security zones aligned with international maritime standards, ensuring consistency without any unnecessary complexity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399405/image/large-336bb471434503b82f631267f36aa110.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399405">A new era shaped by investment and ambitionMarina Port Vell’s continued evolution is due to its significant investment programme designed to meet the ever-changing demands of the global superyacht fleet. Between 2021 and 2024, more than €20 million was invested in transforming the marina’s infrastructure, reinforcing its position as one of the Mediterranean’s leading superyacht destinations.Completed in July 2024, the redevelopment introduced 23 additional berths for superyachts up to 70-metres and ensured further integration of the marina with Barcelona’s iconic waterfront. The redevelopment also saw the reorganisation of the marina’s water surface, which has improved operational efficiency as well as environmental performance.Sustainability formed a central pillar of the marina’s redevelopment. The new state-of-the-art fuel supply system was introduced to improve both operational safety and environmental performance, completed by the availability of HVO renewable fuel to support yacht owners and captains who are seeking lower-emission alternatives.&nbsp;The marina’s 510-metre underground pipeline network, spanning Barceloneta Quay, Reloj Quay and T Dock, enables yachts to bunker directly alongside their berth. This aligns with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a>’s sustainable practices, ensuring that vessels don’t need to relocate ensures environmental risks are kept to a minimum, as well as further enhancing the marina’s efficiency.One of the most recent additions is the underwater drone inspection service, providing efficient hull and mooring inspections without the need for more complex interventions. The technology supports preventative maintenance while improving operational planning and reducing downtime.The facilities Inward Proceeding Status offers clear financial advantages for non-EU yachts undergoing maintenance and repair in the Mediterranean. This supports more efficient operational and financial planning, making Marina Port Vell the homeport choice within the Mediterranean.&nbsp;The investments made by the marina reflect a continued push for growing to not just meet, but thrive in meeting the industry’s growing expectations. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293745/image/large-196ecf8fa65d59fbb74a28f5f2d4627c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293745">More than a superyacht destination: a place for captains &amp; crew to enjoyA successful homeport extends beyond the needs of the yacht itself, and recognising the importance of crew well-being, Marina Port Vell has worked hard to develop an environment that encourages both professional support and personal enjoyment.&nbsp;Through the establishment of the marina’s Crew Life programme, the captains and crew berthed became part of a larger community. Through weekly yoga sessions, various network opportunities and training initiatives, those staying in the marina have the opportunity to spend time connecting with fellow yachties whilst also growing their skillset and staying active. Additionally, the marina organises weekly social gatherings that centre around meaningful connection.The marina’s investment in crew well-being does not stop there: a carefully curated calendar of monthly events introduces the crews and captains of berthed yachts to the true Barcelona experience. Through wine tastings, gastronomic experiences, seasonal celebrations and cultural excursions across the city, berthing in Marina Port Vell is more than a homeport for superyachts, the marina becomes an exciting, adventurous home base for those captains and crew too.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399406/image/large-ad41e6575333d4528a4d713e6319af7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399406">A marina at the heart of Barcelona’s scenic waterfront&nbsp;Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them.
